205 Truck Stops in Alabama

Our directory currently lists 205 truck stops and travel centers across Alabama. These include major chains like Love's Travel Stops, Pilot Flying J, TA Travel Centers, and independent locations. We regularly update our database to ensure you have access to the most current information about truck stops in the state.

Most of the major truck-stop chains in Alabama—Love's, TA/Petro and Pilot/Flying J—offer 24-hour diesel and DEF pumps alongside gasoline for bobtails, private showers and restroom facilities, on-site laundry rooms, CAT-certified scales, and a mix of sit-down and quick-serve dining options (Subway, Arby's, etc.). You'll also find free basic Wi-Fi, ATMs, check-cashing services, and money-transfer counters, plus large, well-lit parking lots (70–300 spaces) with security patrols to keep your rig safe.

Yes—virtually every Love's, TA/Petro and Pilot/Flying J location in Alabama operates around the clock. For example, Love's in Mobile (I-10 Exit 10) advertises 24/7 fuel, food and parking; TA's Petro Dodge City (I-65 Exit 299) and TA Tuscaloosa (I-20 Exit 77) both list nonstop store and restaurant hours; and Pilot/Flying J's policy is to keep fuel pumps, showers and parking open 24 hours at all travel centers.

Your fastest route to the right stop is through a dedicated trucker app like Trucker Path or AllStays, which filters by parking availability, shower access, scales and DEF, and shows real-driver reviews. Enable GPS routing in the app to surface stops directly on I-10, I-20 or I-65, then cross-check chain-specific apps (Love's Connect, TA TruckSmart, Pilot myRewards Plus) for live fuel prices, open parking spots and shower or bay reservations. Finally, compare user ratings—cleanliness, staff friendliness and lot lighting—before you pull in for the night.

Alabama's three big chains are Love's Travel Stops, TA/Petro (including TA Express) and Pilot/Flying J. Love's locations in Eutaw (I-20/59 Exit 40), Heflin (I-20 Exit 205) and Mobile (I-10 Exit 10) feature My Love Rewards and Speedco service bays. TA/Petro's network—Petro Dodge City, TA Tuscaloosa and TA Express Birmingham—offers UltraONE points, Reserve-It parking and full TA Truck Service shops. Pilot/Flying J outlets in Birmingham, Dothan and Theodore support Axle Fuel Card and Prime Parking. Independent stops (Stuckey's, AM Best, etc.) also fill gaps between the big three along US-231, US-431 and various state routes.

Yes—TA/Petro's "Reserve-It!" feature in the TruckSmart app lets you pre-pay for a guaranteed spot at Petro Shorter or TA Tuscaloosa, while Love's Prime Parking sells same-day reservations (10–20 spots) via Love's Connect. If you don't reserve, all major chains still provide free, first-come, first-served overnight parking in their general lots, subject to space availability.

Across Alabama you'll find highway diesel and DEF at the pump, plus gasoline for RVs and bobtails—and select stops even offer biodiesel blends. Payment options include fleet cards (Comdata, EFS, TCH, Fleet One, Fuelman, Axle Fuel Card), major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover), mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay at newer terminals), and cash or company checks (Pilot offers 24-hour check-cashing up to $999).

Absolutely—TA Truck Service shops in Robertsdale, Bucksville and Gadsden provide ASE-certified mechanics for preventive maintenance, tire and brake work, and roadside assistance, while Love's Truck Care & Speedco bays at multiple Alabama locations handle light mechanical work, tires, oil changes and 24-hour emergency support. Both chains let you schedule or check bay availability directly in their mobile apps to minimize downtime.
